A few thoughts from Neal Donald Walsh on how to better educate our precious offspring. We are living in a world where women are under constant attack. Why not help raise boys who don't hate women the way mainstream society teaches them to? With so many families being headed by single women, we have a responsibility to raise boys (and girls) who understand and respect the power of the Feminine, not resent it. Below I found these suggestions to be very enlightening and potentially paradigm shifting. We must teach children to VALUE, not VICTIMIZE.
Some suggestions from CWG
How, then, should we educate our young?
· Treat them as spirits.
· Introduce them to the world you have created with gentleness and
care.
· Why do you place your children in schools where competition is allowed
and encouraged, where being the “best” and learning the “most” is
rewarded, where “performance” is graded, and moving at one’s own pace is
barely tolerated? What does your
child understand from this?
· Allow your young ones to learn logic, critical
thinking, problem solving and creation, using the tools of their own
intuition and their deepest inner knowing, rather than the rules and the
memorized systems and conclusions of a society which has already proven itself
to be wholly unable to evolve by these methods, and continues to use them.
· Teach concepts, not subjects.
· Devise a new curriculum, and build it around three Core Concepts:
- Awareness
- Honesty
- Responsibility
Then, take the values and concepts ... and teach them in your schools.
Courses such as:
- Understanding Power
- Peaceful Conflict Resolution
- Elements of Loving Relationship
- Personhood and Self Creation
- Body, Mind, and Spirit: How They Function
- Engaging Creativity
- Celebrating Self, Valuing Others
- Joyous Sexual Expression
- Fairness
- Tolerance
- Diversities and Similarities
- Ethical Economics
- Creative Consciousness and Mind Power
- Awareness and Wakefulness
- Honesty and Responsibility
- Visibility and Transparency
- Science and Spirituality
Not sure about you, but I think this sounds good.
Of course, if we really want to create a 'happy kid curriculum,' this did it for me :-)

Good formula. And yes, I used to love Electric Company too! Moreno and Freeman!
